UPDATE: Prank!! The Foo Fighters Have a Mean Sense of Humor.

So there’s no breakup, and there’s no hiatus. I guess this teaches us all a valuable lesson. Don’t believe what you read on the internet until you hear it from the band themselves!

…and it’s not anything at all that we wanted to hear. : (

The band has made the announcement that they are on an “indefinite hiatus,” or an “ihateus,” as they’re calling it.

Taylor Hawkins told Artisan News:“[It’s] not because we don’t love each other, or don’t want to make music together. We did so much in the last five or six years, we as a band could go into the studio tomorrow and have just as much fun as we ever had, but I think the world needs a break from us for a little while.”More on the story from Consequence of Sound here.
